Blue screen of death

[FᵃᵐᵒᵘˢNᵒᵇᵒᵈʸZ]

I cannot play HFW. every other game works just fine. i have restarted my whole pc, deleted the game 4x and checked my drivers with a software. everythings fine. it is absolutley the game itself. i am running a built computer set up thats over qualifed for something like this. anyone else having issues or had to make adjustments?

In most cases BSOD is an unstable hardware failure...

Had the same thing with my old rig a few years back, only ever happened with the Witcher 3

Turned out in the end it was the overclock, took it down a notch and all was well again. As sonycman said it's usually a sign of unstable hardware, I very much doubt it's the game itself causing a bsod

When so something happens with one game only, especially with its predecessor it's the game's fault. I have above and beyond a PC qualified to run those two games and yet frequent BOSDs happening only with those games. Same as the VRAM memory leak as the more the game's world is opening, the more the textures are lowering in resolution.

I'm over-sick and tired of the BOSDs that this garbage game makes to my PC. No overclock whatsoever, over-qualified to run this game: Asus B66OM-E D4, i7 13700k, 64GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 3600Ti 8GB, For Zero Dawn I found the sole solution in a forum that helped, to not run the game at more than 1080p screen resolution but not for FW. It's the worst PC partition ever and the devs should warn the PC players about this before buying their garbage game which is only garbage, inducing both RAM and VRAM leaks.

Looking at your profile, this is the most graphically intense game you've got... errr, more than, give that you haven't got this game either. The fact that other games work isn't very relevant.

Have you got the latest drivers for your card? How long does it take before the crash happens?

13700k's are known to be potentially be unstable, I'm sorry to you and anyone else dealing with this BS but it more than likely isn't the games fault directly. A 13/14th gen Intel was my desired upgrade path before I ended up with what I have now... I feel sorta lucky now.

Intel cpu's tend to suffer because some motherboard manufacturers have default settings that overvolt them. Asus being one of the worse offenders. I would suggest finding the bios voltage setting for the cpu from Intel and compare them to Asus' "optimized defaults."

I have an Intel cpu and Asus motherboard. I used to get BSOD regularly playing this game. I changed my cpu's voltage settings to match the settings listed by intel and the problem went away entirely.
